It’s not going to be the same 99% that we had with the revamp of the site now is it? For any new feature you should always aim for 100%, anything less will be a royal kick in the pants.
Play it safe.
Oh, before I forget. Will you be introducing a “spell check” feature for the commenting system? You know, like the Yahoo! Answers site.
YES! This is AWESOME! The best part is I'm a responsible person and I've been a member for a year now, as of yesterday!!! Alright! I can finally go to a place to talk about anime without flamers.
BTW, I'm handy at HTML, is anyone needs it- though, I'd guess not. Well, can't wait to see it!!!
woot i can make my own chat room thats awsome ! [has been hear for a year] i would thnk that it would be fun being a moderater ...but then again i hered it could be a bisy job
Being a long standing member has nothing to do with it really, as Adam said in the update, it makes it hard for people to just create fake accounts in order to harass others. :p Much like how you can't be anonymous either. I suppose you could see it as a reward but I see it as a deterrent to spamming and flamming.
@Adam: Oh and that being said, I sincerely hope that we do NOT have an invisible mode. If we can't be anonymous then seems like being invisible would defeat the reasoning behind that. Unless moderators can see invisible members, but I still think not having it would be better.
And though it goes without saying, I'll be glad to help out with the moderation Adam. ^_^ I love doing that at OB so I think helping with a chat would be fun.
This is so cool I love chat rooms, they're SO much simpler then using the messaging system. Lol, now all we need is a instant messenger and we'd be all set.
Anyway, I have no problems with helping out when I have time. Though I imagine that's the reason behind wanting plenty of mods, to help ensure that people can get help if needed.
I am curious to see how this goes once it's up and running and the best way to do that is first hand.

This actually sounds like a really good idea. I like the fact that you are also gonna let the Otakuboards staff mod for the chat rooms too. It sounds like fun. :] Hopefully it'll work out for theotaku.
Digital Neko (Otaku Eternal) | Posted 07/11/08 | Reply
Ah... a chat room. Sounds like a good change of pace for theO. It's been quite a while since I've been in a chatroom. It'd definitely make it quicker to communicate rather than simply pming back and forth (and keeps the inbox from getting cluttered, too! =^_^=)
Whether we have chatrooms or not, I'd still stick around theO. I love it here, even if I'm not the most popular member. It's just a nice place to relax and make a couple friends.
We sgall see how fun things are with this. Congratulations on all your hard work with Project o_O, Adam. *thumbs up*
Kewl. I've been around here for 5 years or so...but I don't really have anyone to talk to...lol. Nice feature, nonetheless. Wondered when theotaku would get a chat feature.
Can we make more than one chat room?
And with the people that created the chat room what kind of 'power' will they have to keep a hold of their chat room?
Would we be able to have passwords on the chat room?
I have other question but those ones are the biggest on my mind.
You know that someone truly cares when they brick you like that. -AZ
And if you were aware of the circumstances between us, you'd know we already resolved that situation and I was engaging in what is commonly known as "ribbing".
Considering Indi blatantly *glare* brought my name to his attention, I'd say everybody.
You can stop that glaring you know. :p You had been noticed before she ever did anything like that. So feel free to glare in my direction too... Oh Basement Cat! =P
Considering Indi blatantly *glare* brought my name to his attention, I'd say everybody. Besides, the seniors and admins only give him maybe eight extra? (Reference-less estimate) This kind of thing needs people on it around the clock.
Given my online status, my abilities would be limited. But that depends on what would need to be handled and how it would need to be handled. Any and all pertinent heads-up information would be extremely useful to that end.
Not only will our normal theOtaku staff serve as moderators, but we're going to let OtakuBoards' massive team of moderators have chat moderation abilities too.
Wait... What?!? o_O I was not expecting to hear that. XP Not that I would mind helping out, that's just surprising. Though it makes sense that you want lots of moderators. It will just make keeping the chat from getting out of hand a lot easier.
Anyway, should be interesting to see how it goes once it launches.
Your plans for the chat system seem pretty sound. They should definitely help keep this chat from following in the footsteps of every other. I can't wait to see it actually go live.
Personally, I am not a fan of chat rooms but I know a lot of people will love this feature. Great work Adam. As long as you have the staff to support it, it will be a good asset to the website.
Wow, that's a pretty big project, no wonder you kept hyping it so much! I look forward to trying it out when it launches!
First, you include the length of someone's membership into member promotions, and now you have it incorporated into the chat system. Seems like you're rewarding the ones who've stuck around theO for awhile! That's a good thing though, just like you said, it keeps people from abusing the system, and for existing members, makes them think twice about what they have to lose is they start abusing.
